The Los Angeles Dodgers announced a handful of roster moves via X.com:
“The Dodgers have activated LHP Kris Bubic from the injured list and optioned RHP Paul Gervase to Triple-A Oklahoma City. In order to make room on the 40-man roster, the Dodgers designated OF Ryan Ward for assignment.”
If you remember correctly, the Dodgers traded for Bubic in an under-the-radar move in August, and it’s clear their plan was to have him ready for October.
Well, Bubic will likely have a few opportunities to prove what he can do to help this Dodgers pitching staff in upcoming games.

Kris Bubic has spent most of his 2026 season on the Injured List.
“Bubic hasn’t pitched in the majors since mid-May when he was in the Royals’ rotation. The Dodgers will deploy him as a reliever after he tossed 5.2 shutout frames with a 9:2 K:BB in six rehab appearances. Bubic is coming back from elbow and shoulder woes.”
If Bubic is effective in any opportunities he’s given with the Dodgers over the next two+ weeks, it will be very interesting to see what role he has with the team come October.
